PER CURIAM:
Anthony Taylor petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court has
unduly delayed acting on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition. He seeks an order from this court
directing the district court to act. Our review of the district court’s docket reveals that the
district court dismissed Taylor’s § 2241 petition without prejudice on November 2, 2021.
Accordingly, because the district court has recently decided Taylor’s case, we deny the
mandamus petition as moot. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal
contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would
not aid the decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
